Identification Requirements

Overview

To be eligible for Gambling Worker Registration (new applications) applicants must at the time of application provide two pieces of identification (ID). One must be a photo ID from the list of primary ID, and the second may be selected from either the primary or secondary ID list.

Photo ID documents are required for all ID in the list of primary ID. Interim documents (for example, interim driver’s licence) are not accepted as primary ID. In cases where a photo ID has expired (see List notes below), it is acceptable as primary ID as long as GPEB is satisfied that the photo resembles the applicant and therefore proves the applicant’s identity.

Applicants for gambling (gaming) registration in the Province of British Columbia that reside outside of Canada at the time of application must provide the following documentation with their Gambling Worker application. All Police Certificates, United States local and state criminal record documents and FBI Identification records checks must not be older than three (3) months from the date of application for GPEB registration.

Gambling Worker applicants that reside in the United States must provide an authenticated local police check document (Police Certificate) which includes a local and state criminal record search for the area they currently reside in.

United States residents must also provide an authenticated FBI identification records check (Identity History Summary). Applicants should refer to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's ("FBI") website for instructions on how to submit the request.

Translation Required: If police certificate is in a language other than English, the applicant must provide GPEB with a copy of the original document as well as an English version translated by a certified translator and an affidavit from the person who completed the translation.
